The new clamp() function in PHP 8.6
You know how sometimes you want to ensure that a value stays within a specific range? Maybe you’re working with user input, configuration values, or any scenario where you need to enforce boundaries.

Partial Function Application is coming in PHP 8.6!
In brief, PFAs let you write a “pre‑configured” callable by calling a function with some arguments and using placeholders for the rest.
I have written more about it in this article: amitmerchant.com/partial-func...

My Notepad app has been used by almost 4 milllion people in the last 5 years. This is tracked by Google Analytics 4.
Prior to that, there were 6 million people who used it from 2016 to 2020.
So, it's almost 10 million users in 10 years! 🤯

Just implemented Note Statistics for my Notepad app. The feature is quite the low-hanging fruit to squeeze out!

I love the DeepWiki feature of Windsurf!
You don't understand a function? Sure, just press Cmd + Shift and click on the function, and it opens up a full-fledged wiki-style info of that function right inside the editor.
Works with the user functions and variables as well!

The bare minimum you need to enable View Transitions on your website
View transitions are a great way to make your website feel more dynamic and engaging when users navigate between pages. The View Transition API, in particular, lets you create animated transitions between different website views.
